{{Documentation subpage}}

{{high-use|12947}}
{{Tracks Wikidata|P18|cat=No local image but image on Wikidata}}
{{Lua|Module:InfoboxImage}}

==Usage==
{| {{Parameter names example |_template= |name |logo |image |size |alt |caption |long caption}}
|}
{| {{Parameter names example |_template= |name |logo |image |image_size |alt |long caption}}
|}

This template acts to provide common formatting for other aircraft-related infoboxes. It (and any boxes that follow it) must be enclosed by <code>{|</code> and <code>|}</code> that enclose a wiki-table (see [[Help:Tables]]).

<code>
<nowiki>{|{{</nowiki>Infobox aircraft begin 
 |''parameters go here'' 
<nowiki>}}</nowiki> 
<nowiki>|}</nowiki>
</code>

For an article on an aircraft type, use:

<code>
<nowiki>{|{{</nowiki>Infobox aircraft begin 
 |''parameters go here'' 
<nowiki>}}{{</nowiki>Infobox aircraft type 
 |''parameters go here'' 
<nowiki>}}</nowiki> 
<nowiki>|}</nowiki>
</code>

Or, for an article on an aero engine, use:

<code>
<nowiki>{|{{</nowiki>Infobox aircraft begin 
 |''parameters go here'' 
<nowiki>}}{{</nowiki>Infobox aircraft engine 
 |''parameters go here'' 
<nowiki>}}</nowiki> 
<nowiki>|}</nowiki>
</code>

Multiple templates can be stacked one after the other. For example, where the only example built of a particular aircraft type also had an individually noteworthy career (e.g., ''[[The Spirit of St. Louis]]'', use:

<code>
<nowiki>{|{{</nowiki>Infobox aircraft begin 
 |''parameters go here'' 
<nowiki>}}{{</nowiki>Infobox aircraft type 
 |''parameters go here'' 
<nowiki>}}{{</nowiki>Infobox aircraft career 
 |''parameters go here'' 
<nowiki>}}</nowiki> 
<nowiki>|}</nowiki>
</code>

==Other modules==
Other modules currently available for the modular Infobox aircraft are:

; {{tl|Infobox aircraft type}} : General data fields relevant to an aircraft type (or subtype), such as role, manufacturer, number produced, date of first flight (but ''not'' technical specifications)

; {{tl|Infobox aircraft career}} : Data fields relevant to an individually significant airframe, such as construction number, registration number, military serial, current preservation status.

; {{tl|Infobox aircraft engine}} : General data fields relevant to an aircraft engine, such as type, manufacturer, major applications (but ''not'' technical specifications)

; {{tl|Infobox aircraft program}} : General data on programs to develop types (and subtypes) of aircraft and aircraft engines, but not on the aircraft or engines themselves or their technical specifications

==Parameters==
; name : The subject of the article. When naming aircraft and engines, please do not repeat the name of the manufacturer unless the name would be otherwise ambiguous. For example, "P-51 Mustang" does not need to have "North American" in front of it: the name itself is unambiguous and the manufacturer will be stated just a few lines down in the Type Infobox.
; image : In the format ''filename.xxx'' format with or without 'File:' tag
; size {{nobold|or}} image_size : Allows for the specification of image size; default is 250px.
; alt : Alt text for the image, for readers who cannot see the image. Please see [[WP:ALT]] for details.
; image_border : set to yes to add a thin border to the image
; caption : A short (one- or two-line) caption for the image. If it isn't descriptive, then please skip it. "Boeing 747" or "Boeing 747 in flight" should be patently obvious from the context and does not need to be captioned. "A Qantas Airlines Boeing 747-400 at Heathrow Airport in 2006" is an example of a useful caption. Captions will appeared centred in the infobox.
; long caption : A longer (multi-line), more detailed caption may be desirable from time to time. Long captions will appear left-justified in the infobox. Won't display if '''caption''' is defined.

==Template with notes==

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto">
{{Infobox aircraft begin
|name = REQUIRED 
|image = 
|image_border = 
|alt = 
|caption = 
|long caption = 
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

==Example==
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto">
|name = Foo
|image = Foo.jpg
|image_border = yes
|size = 300px
|alt = an aircraft in flight
|caption = The Foo on its first flight
</syntaxhighlight>

== Tracking categories ==
* {{clc|No local image but image on Wikidata}} – Used by [[Template:Wikidata image]] to track articles where an infobox has no image but [[Wikidata]] has an image name. To exclude articles from this category, add an image or {{para|nocat_wdimage|yes}} to the infobox.

== Supporting templates and modules ==
The following templates are used directly from this template:
* {{tl|WPMILHIST Infobox style}}
* {{tl|Wikidata image}}
